While my friend, think twice Life doesn't always turn out the way we want it to I'm still wondering, Is there life after fifty? Alone, afraid & wanting to begin again It's hard It's painful It's sad It's happy or is it an illusion I tried to be happy, tried to succeed, tried to be the best I could be Life with its twists and turns I'm still asking, Is there life after fifty? I wanna go forward I wanna start again It's hard to be alone But doors slam shut Man it is so rough I'm still asking. Is there life after fifty? Is there someone out there who wants to put up with my little idiosyncrasies? Is their another soul who is as lonely as I? Who knows Who cares Life is passing me by I'm human I'm emotional I'm loving I need someone to take care of Someone who wants to take care of me too Makes me still wonder, Is there life after fifty? They say there is someone for everyone Well then where is my soulmate I don't want to hate I want to love and to be loved I want a mate to hold me late at night To wanna be there during the good times and the bad times To shine To adore To be all mine But all I can do is to wonder, Is there life after fifty? I ask you again my friend, Is there life after fifty?

I wrote this one almost one year after the one above~~~I have come a long way Baby! I was thrust into a life Thought I could not exist Divorce is so cruel, so bitter I fought and I fought, I tried and I tried But then I stumbled onto my senses I realized, hey, I was okay, Contentment I had found Satisfaction was there too I had learned to love myself Like I had wanted others to do I found there really is life after 50! I had my friends, I had my family, I had learned to love again. Really I had never forgotten, He made me believe I couldn't, Oh what we allow another human being to do to our hearts. Thank God I woke up! I am here to tell you I too thought it impossible, But it can happen, You can build a new life You can learn to live alone and be happy You can find pleasures in the simplest things, You can give of yourself to help others, It is amazing how you can help a friend, How friends can help you once you allow them too. And you will find it too if you look inside your heart and find the real you! You are special and loved by many I bet my life on that! Believe me my Friend when I say there is Life After 50!
You know some days it seems as if I wanna scream
How can I go on
How come I am alone
Why oh why me
You know all those silly thoughts we all have from time to time
Then I see something that just makes me wanna grin
It just may be a simple thing,
A rose
A butterfly
A smile from someone
An email from my bestest friend
Whatever it may be,
It brings me back to realty and I don't wanna scream any longer
I wanna smell that rose
I wanna watch that butterfly fly all around I wanna give someone my grin
And I wanna read that special email from my bestest friend
Don't let life's disappointments get you
down,
Turn that frown around
Learn to appreciate what you do have
Open your eyes, your heart to see all the goodness in this wonderful world
And most of all smile cause you never know whose life you are touching with that wonderful smile! |
